Do I Have Something To Eat?

you ask me if i have eaten
it did not come to your mind if i have something to eat

but i will not correct your question
it is the most common question somehow
that is being asked by the majority of
those who do not really go deeper
into the matter,

ask me now, how about the hungry children of Africa?
the children of the rebels in Syria?

where food is prohibited, where plants do not grow because of the war,
please ask me that question.
